Assemblyman Jay Webber said, “I am truly humbled by the generous support I’ve received from hundreds of donors who have rallied to our cause. Our first fundraising event was held on March 15th, and to raise over $233,000 in the weeks leading up to the end of the first quarter is a testament to the energy and enthusiasm of our campaign and its donor base.

“I intend to run a campaign that will bring our message of lower taxes, strong national defense, and safe communities to each of the 54 municipalities in the district and this extremely strong fundraising start will give us the resources to do just that. In the coming days we’ll be launching enhanced voter contact efforts that will drive our supporters to the polls and let the voters of NJ-11 know why our campaign is the one that will stand up for New Jersey values in Congress and be victorious in November.”

One of Lonegan’s Republican rivals, Tony Ghee, for his part, has raised $62,000 to date in his bid to succeed retiring U.S. Rep. Rodney Frelinghuysen (R-11).

The Webber For Congress campaign will report:
·      Over $233,000 raised
·      $13,000 spent
·      Cash On Hand of over $220,000
